Why your zine title? Why your pen name? - We Make Zines2015-03-31T21:01:11Zhttp://wemakezines.ning.com/forum/topics/why-your-zine-title-why-your?commentId=2288844%3AComment%3A131212&feed=yes&xn_auth=noMine (when I get over the ner…tag:wemakezines.ning.com,2010-04-28:2288844:Comment:1329252010-04-28T10:53:42.111ZLia through the looking-glasshttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/LianneWoolley
Mine (when I get over the nerves and actually send it out) is called "Wasps Make Jam In Teacups", after a strange discussion with my daughter a while back. Apparently if Bees make honey, then Wasps make Jam.... in teacups. At one point it was going to be called Sympathy In D Minor, but then I decided it sounded a bit .... wrong for me.<br />
<br />
My penname is Lianne Woolley because it's what my parents put on my birth certificate. Though sometimes I go by Princess Lia, because I'm vain like that.

we were going to start a band called Turps, but then we realised we are terrible musicians, so we made a zine called that instead.<br />
<br />
we definitely made the best decision.

My zine name is Carpe Noctem: tales from the dreamside. Carpe Noctem is latin for "seize the night", basically. And I've been using the name ApocalypseGrrl for years. I still like it and really have no reason to change it, so it stays.

I took on the name Persephone Pomegranate because I've always felt a strong connection to the Persephone myth.<br />
<br />
I have two zines. One is a poli-femenist zine called Dissension, which is pretty self explanatory. I also have a perzine called Reclusive Obscenities, so named because since developing a severe anxiety disorder, I've pretty much become a recluse.

My main zine is called Fanzine Ynfytyn. It's Welsh, and can mean either idiot fanzine or fanzine idiot. It's named after a Datblygu song about a pathetic teenage boy wanking all over indie bands in his bad zine. Datblygu were a Welsh-language post punk band from the 80s, same vintage as the Fall. I don't take my zine particularly seriously.<br />

My name is my actual name. People just seem to think I made it up.

Weepy Gonzales is my pen name. I thought of it some time ago - couple months or so. I just thought it was funny sounding and mildly clever - I am somewhat like a cartoon mouse, a really sad one.<br />
<br />
My zine name isn't really definite right now, but I know my boyfriend is going to help me do a solid bit of work on it. I don't know what his pen name is yet.

My zine is called Internal Monologues (something I happen to misspell frequently) cause I was thinking of a name and remembered my friend talking about hearing an internal monologue when he blogged. I hear one all the time.<br />
My pen name is a nickname from the name Racine, which I think is so much prettier than my real one :D

My zine's title is The Universe and You: An Owner's Manual, mostly because, well, I'm awfully full of myself sometimes.<br />
<br />
My nom de plume is Ren Filthrage, while my "nom de guerre," if you will, is Nyx Benz. Ren Filthrag because Ren is my nickname mostly everywhere, and Filthrag because of a joke between my best friend and I about Jack Terricloth, the frontman of the World/Inferno Friendship Society, our favorite band. (Her nickname from that injoke is Mudtowel, by the way :P)<br />

Nyx Benzo is because I am a Discordian, and Nyx, in Greek mythology, was born of Chaos, and the mother is Eris. Benzo, because benzodiazepines are what ease my anxiety, and my panic attacks.
